A very interesting movie on many levels. First of all the idea, and then the question posed. It left many more questions hanging than the one asked. First of all, would it make a difference in what country it was asked? In the end it seemed not a movie aboutdreams, for OF COURSE we all dream, it is a movie about our willingness to discuss or reveal our dreams. In a recent documentary about Sweden one of the things that was said was that Swedish people are private, on a bus they do not converse with perfect strangers the way Americans do. Would Americans share their dreams more readily than the French? Secondly, was it the manner the question was delivered that made most people unwilling to share their dreams? If you were confronted with both a camera and a microphone, would you be all that willing to share a dream? If one asked the question first, and then asked for permission to film, would it make it a difference? I loved the boldness of the one man who did share his dream. He was not afraid. It made me want to do this experiment myself, with a different technique.
